Celery Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a glass vase titled "Celery Vase" by an unknown artist. The vase is transparent and made of glass. It has a wide mouth with a narrow rim and a flared opening. The body of the vase is shaped like a funnel with a narrow base that widens towards the middle, then tapers down to a short stem and a circular base. The vase has vertical ridges or grooves running along its body. The vase is sitting on a reflective surface, likely glass or metal, and the background is a plain light-colored wall. The overall shape of the vase is symmetrical and appears to be a clear, colorless glass.
